Question
Chapter 9, Problem 9.10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The given anion is to be identified as a strong or weak base. Whether it will favor an E1 or an E2 mechanism is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The basicity of an anion is determined by the pKa value of its conjugate acid. The strength of the base is then generally considered relative to
A strong base favors E2 mechanism while a weak base favors E1 mechanism.
